Orchids from Huntington Library and Botanic Gardens. San Marino. California.

I photographed this orchid on Mother's Day in the San Diego Botanic Building in Balboa Park.

I wanted to emphasize the shapes and textures of the petals, so I used side lighting to create the shadows that reveal those qualities. Lit with a Yongnuo flash in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box hand held in front of the flower and below it at 4 o'clock. The flash was triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.

I've photographed a lot of plants and flowers, because they're all around us, work cheap, and never complain. I have an album of these images with over 800 pictures, and for each one, I have described how I lit them, in case you're interested in that kind of thing.
